Gunite Pool Construction in Missouri City, TX
Poured-in-place concrete (gunite/shotcrete) pools, custom-shaped and engineered for Texas clay soils, built to last decades.
Why Missouri City Specifically
Missouri City spans Fort Bend and Harris counties and includes Sienna, a large master-planned community, alongside older, less HOA-restricted neighborhoods closer to Houston.
Gunite construction is engineered around the specific site conditions it's built over, which matters directly here: a shell designed for expansive, seasonally-moving clay soil is the standard approach rather than a generic footing, something only an on-site, hand-built shell can fully adjust to.
What This Service Covers
Gunite (shotcrete) is the standard for custom, long-lasting pools in the Houston area. A steel rebar cage is engineered to your yard, then gunite is sprayed over the structure and hand-troweled to your exact design, freeform or geometric, before plaster, pebble, or tile finishing.
Because the shell is formed on-site rather than dropped in prefabricated, gunite pools can be built to any shape, depth, or feature set: tanning ledges, swim-up bars, raised spas, negative-edge walls, and integrated water features all start as gunite.
Local Notes
Riverstone and First Colony both require architectural control committee approval for pool and backyard plans, including review of fencing and setbacks relative to the deed restrictions, which is handled during the design phase. Fort Bend County clay soil, similar to Katy’s, needs a properly engineered gunite shell to handle the seasonal expansion and contraction rather than a generic footing.
